<p>Mbappe thought he had won a spot-kick in the first half of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-real-madrid-declan-rice-bukayo-saka/bltebaae1293f33f653" target="_blank">Madrid's clash with Arsenal</a> shortly after Bukayo Saka had missed the chance to make it 4-0 on aggregate to the Gunners from the penalty spot. The French star tangled with Rice and saw the referee point to the spot and show the England international a yellow card. However, after a lengthy VAR check <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/penalty-chaos-bernabeu-fans-meltdown-bukayo-saka-panenka-kylian-mbappe-spot-kick-ruled-out-six-minute-var-check/blt50fed2951ba478d0" target="_blank">both decisions were rescinded</a>, much to the relief of Rice.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-player-ratings-real-madrid-declan-rice-bukayo-saka/bltebaae1293f33f653" target="_blank">Arsenal went on claim a 5-1 aggregate win</a> in any case and progress to the semi-finals, ensuring Real Madrid's defence of their title is now over. Rice was named the game's MVP and said after the game he was always confident the penalty call was incorrect.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>He told TNT Sports: "I knew it wasn't a penalty. I had my arm on him, but I have to do that. I'm an honest guy. I said to him straightaway it wasn't a penalty. He just fell to the floor. In the end we got the job done and it is a historic night for the club."</p>

WHAT RICE SAID

<p>Arsenal go on to play Paris Saint-Germain for a place in the Champions League final. The other semi-final sees Barcelona take on Inter.</p><p></p>
